Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

The Welcome Room & New Member Intros How about a place for new members to come on in, make an introduction, and meet the regulars? Talk about yourself or anything else that comes to mind, just to break the ice. Or just pull up a chair and make yourself at home for a spell. |

There are some people that will never budge with snakes. Did you ever find out WHY she is afraid? Generally people with phobias like that will have very clear reasons. If you haven't, try to get to the source of her problem with them. Maybe she was bitten when she was younger, or another traumatic event. Maybe something else about them freaks her out aside from being 'evil' creatures. Have her watch video's online, too. From breeders and hobbyists. She won't have to be in the same room as them but she can see how people handle them, how lazy or active they are, etc. That's what attracted me to Ball Pythons-they're lazy and more cuddly and like lap dogs than corns or milks who are very active and move and wiggle a lot.
I second the Hognose suggestion. They're cute little creatures and I adore them.

She's selfish
My family raised me to hate snakes. 8 years ago my husband wanted a snake. I wasn't sure, but he's his own man and promised to take care of it *shrug* he's an adult. If it didn't affect me, why would i say no? That would be awfully selfish of me. We went to a reptile show and got a baby ball. I LOVED her. Now I am the one obsessed with snakes!
Point is...not only did it turn out that I enjoyed the animal, but I found my passion. That wouldn't have happened if I had been selfish.
I'd talk to your wife about give and take. Compromise, and selfishness. Not to mention, who is the breadwinner? Most families live off the men's salary. I think you should be able to spend your money how you wish, within reason. Unless you often break promises, she should trust you to deal with it all and enjoy it without it affecting her.

I do agree with others who have mentioned that perhaps some gentle dialogue may give the person fearful of snakes new perspective, and while pressuring or forcing someone is in my opinion not a good choice, gently talking about the reasons for the fear may help.
Hopefully you are not saying that if a woman chooses to stay home, perhaps spend time inside the home raising children, that her contributions are irrelevant and she should have no voice? Or do you actually believe that if only one person of either gender works outside the home, that person gets to make all the decisions?

My advice.... Get a new wife that likes snakes....lol
I'm totally kidding! My hubby hates spiders and would never have a tarantula in our home but I kept him...hahaha.
But seriously I think maybe if you could get her comfortable with lizards maybe even legless lizards then it may not be such a feat to get her to accept snakes
